Incorporating biofunctionality into nanomaterials for medical, health devices

Tuesday, March 23, 2010 - 09:49 in Physics & Chemistry

A team led by researchers from North Carolina State University has published a paper that describes the use of a technique called atomic layer deposition to incorporate 'biological functionality' into complex nanomaterials, which could lead to a new generation of medical and environmental health applications. For example, the researchers show how the technology can be used to develop effective, low-cost water purification devices that could be used in developing countries...
